journal update

it's been a while, since I showed you my brand new fauxdori. I still use and love it a lot. But one little thing bothered me. On Friday night I finally did something about it:
I realized that I only needed two journals in there. As much as I love all these full stuffed, packed midoris /travelers notebooks I see online, I needed to be self-critic and confess, I need just two!
But putting two notebooks into a midori isn't that easy. You can use an additional elastic to fix the second book to the first one, but that wasn't my cup of tea, too floppy. So I changed the elastic on my notebook to a thinner one. I threaded the new elastic twice to mimic two elastics and therefore have two strings to attach my notebooks. It works wonderfully :)

now you might ask what I use my fauxdori for?
mainly as a diary mixed with some sketches and doodles and a few photos. The second notebook serves as my knitting/crochet notebook on the road. I have a few notebooks for all my wips but sometimes when I'm leaving the house it's nice to have it all in one place. So the second one gets filled with notes on exactly these projects, small ones, like coasters or my latest "butterfly project" (I will tell you more on this soon)

I'm not ready yet to let you get a clear view inside my books, but I'm sure I will add a few pics sooner or later
